Humans are one of the most dominant species on Futurama; their exact importance in the Universe can be disputed, given their frequent enslavement by other races, such as the Omicronians and Decapodians, and at least one other race in the past that paired off the most intelligent humans and forced them to mate for unknown purposes. They remain an important member of the Democratic Order of Planets. The DOOP Army is mainly made up of humans. Human milk and meat are available, and other human-based products include Soylent Cola, Human Broth and Glagnar's Human Rinds. Human noses, known as "Human Horn", are considered an aphrodisiac, but their use for this purpose is highly taboo. Offshoot species such as Sewer Mutants exist, however these are shunned and not permitted to live on the surface of the planet.
Humans widely inhabit planets other than Earth, such as the Moon, Mars, and Pluto.
